Chu Xiaotian’s face flushed red as he shook his head. “Impossible! This can’t be happening! Min Jia wouldn’t do such a thing!”
He rushed to Su Han and locked eyes with her. “Han’er, you must be misunderstanding. Before I left, Min Jia went to see you, saying you weren’t feeling well. She had already called for a court physician. How could she want to kill you? Even if Mother doesn’t like you, Father would still stand up for you. You’re his most admired daughter-in-law! How could you accuse them ?”
Su Han hated seeing him the most, but now she had to face him. She stared at the man she once loved deeply and spoke coldly. “Do you still think I’m falsely accusing your mother and sister?”
“Even if it’s not entirely true! As the daughter-in-law and the elder sister-in-law, can’t you tolerate them a little? As long as you do what you did before, give some gifts to Min Jia to appease her, then kneel and apologize to Mother, they will forgive you. You’re still the Princess of the Regional Prince’s Mansion! Why do you have to go this far?”
Chu Xiaotian yelled at her, every word a reproach.
Su Han’s heart had long grown cold, as if a gaping hole had been torn open, letting out a chilling breeze.
Fortunately, she had already died once when someone held a knife to her.
She had been saved, knowing how precious her life was!
She wouldn’t let Chu Xiaotian hurt her again, instead, she questioned him forcefully. “Why can’t 1? When 1 married into your palace, the betrothal gift 1 received was only half of my dowry. These past few years, I’ve been managing the entire Regional Prince’s Mansion. If it weren’t for my dowry, how could the people of the Regional Prince’s Mansion live such a dignified life?”
“Your mother and sister snatched my things, but you never stood up for me. Instead, you made me tolerate everything! It’s not that 1 couldn’t tolerate it, but how did you treat me? You said you would never take concubines, never favor other women, even if I never had a child, you would never betray me, but did you keep your promise?”
Su Han’s question was like a bucket of cold water poured over Chu Xiaotian’s head.
His face showed discomfort. “1 kept it, I kept it all these years, except for that one night…”
He had stayed clean for these past few years. Even when socializing, he never indulged with those women. This was his promise to Su Han, and he kept it!
He had only broken it once, just that one night!
He grabbed the chair’s armrest, his eyes red, and questioned Su Han. “Only once! I’ve only been with another woman once! Why do you insist on holding onto it? In the entire Great Cheng Dynasty, which man would remain loyal to only one woman? Not to mention, among the Imperial family and nobles, who is like me, focusing solely on loving you? Why won’t you even give me one chance?”
“If you’re disloyal once, you won’t be loyal a hundred times!” Su Han’s face turned cold. “You and 1 made promises. We’re a loving couple. You and I break promises, and we have to settle our debts one by one! The dowry I paid into the Regional Prince’s Mansion, and the plot against me by Min Jia County Lord, and Madam Sheng, I must seek justice!”
A trace of surprise flashed across Su Yingxue’s eyes, her heart surging with emotions.
At this moment, she admired Su Han.
Liang Jin rushed over as quickly as possible, bringing many people from the capital prefecture with him.
He had visited the Marquis’s Manor more times than he had visited all the officials’ homes combined.
Therefore, he was quite familiar with the place..
